Well, I reckon most folks know about Michael Jordan, right? That fella who could fly through the air and make all them basketball shots? But today, I ain’t here to talk about him, though. No, today we’re talkin’ about his first wife, Juanita Vanoy. She was married to him for a long stretch—17 years, y’all! That’s almost two decades, long enough for them to have three children together. But, like many things in life, it didn’t last forever, and they ended up callin’ it quits in 2007. Now, she’s livin’ a different life, doin’ things her own way.
Juanita and Michael’s divorce didn’t come cheap, let me tell ya. She walked away with a hefty settlement of $168 million! That’s a whole lotta money, and I reckon she put it to good use. After the divorce, she didn’t just sit around cryin’ over it. Nope, she started her own business—a fancy clothing resale shop called Juanita World. Sounds like a good idea, don’t it? She sells all sorts of designer clothes, accessories, and even jewelry. Guess she got a good eye for fashion, if you ask me.
Now, I ain’t gonna say much about what happened between Juanita and Michael during their marriage, but rumors sure did swirl. There was talk about Michael bein’ involved in some kinda cheating scandal, and that might’ve been the final straw for their relationship. But no matter what happened, it didn’t stop Juanita from movin’ forward with her life. She kept her head high, and now she’s livin’ it up and runnin’ her business with style.
But now let’s talk about where she’s at today. Juanita’s got her hands full with this luxury online store, and she’s curatin’ clothes that look like they came straight off the runway. People buyin’ and sellin’ high-end stuff through her site, and that’s somethin’ to be proud of. She ain’t just a lady who sat by and let life pass her by—she took the reins and made somethin’ big out of herself. And from what I hear, she’s doin’ pretty well, too!
It’s kinda funny, though, ‘cause after she and Michael parted ways, Michael got remarried not too long after, this time to a Cuban lady named Yvette Prieto. They met in 2008, and by 2011, they were already engaged. They got hitched in 2013 with a big ol’ ceremony with 500 folks attendin’. That’s a lot of folks for a weddin’, if you ask me. But anyway, it just shows you that life goes on. Juanita’s movin’ forward with her career, and Michael’s off with his new bride, living his life. Ain’t nobody stoppin’ ’em.
So, that’s the story of Juanita Vanoy, folks. She may have been married to one of the most famous basketball players in the world, but she’s now built her own name in the world of fashion. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, if you ask me. You can say what you want about her past, but the present and the future—now that’s what counts. She’s out there workin’ hard and doing her thing. Ain’t no reason we can’t respect that, right?
